This ‘hanging spoons’ motif is found in the St. Gallen Armorial, p323 https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/csg/1084/323. We will consider the bar to be a secondary charge conjoined to the primary spoons.

Devis in le Breres. Device. Per pale vert and sable, three lozenges conjoined in pale between two sprigs of blackberry, a bordure argent.

This device is pended to redraw the lozenges larger so that they are clearly the primary charges. Lozenges conjoined in pale are equivalent to a pale fusily and thus must be the primary charge in this design. The sprigs and bordure may be drawn smaller to accomplish this aim.

Nice cant!
